Removal Procedure

1. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle.
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation.
3. Remove the brake caliper. Refer to Rear Brake Caliper Replacement.
4. Remove the rear wheel speed sensor. Refer to Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Replacement.
5. Remove the rear axle housing cover and the gasket. Refer to Rear Axle Housing Cover and Gasket Replacement.
6. Remove the pinion shaft locking bolt.


7. On axles without a locking differential, remove the pinion shaft.


8. On axles with a locking differential, remove the shaft part way. Rotate the case until the pinion shaft touches the housing.


9. On axles with a locking differential, use a screwdriver, or a similar tool, in order to enter the differential case and rotate the C-lock?(1) until the C-lock aligns with the thrust block?(2).
10. Push the flange of the axle shaft?(1) toward the differential.


11. Remove the C-lock from the button end of the axle shaft.

Note: When removing the axle shaft, do not rotate the shaft. Rotating the shaft will misalign the gears. Misaligning the gears will make the installing of the axle shaft difficult.
12. Remove the axle shaft from the housing.
13. Hope this helps?

Check for a stuck button in the top 12 buttons.

to remove front axle.to loosen front axle nut leave vechicle weight on wheel then just loosen front axle nut because axle nut torque at 217 ft lbs torquehard to loose axle nut with vechicle weight off wheel.okay. you need a 1/2 breaker bar and axle socket to loosen axle nut dont use 12 points sockets need go auto parts store buy right socket for axle nut.okay when you loosen front axle nut you need safely raise support vechicle. need to remove wheels remove fender apron seal remove transaxle fluid remove transfercase oil if you have 4WD.remove hub nut remove stabilizer bar link remove speed sensor remove tie rod end remove lower arm from the ball joint then slide the halfshaft from the hub then carefully pry the shaft from the transaxle.then install new front axle push in make sure front axle snap ring on front axle snap in place inside transmission just pull a little on front axle make its in place. when all done tighten front axle much as you can then when done putting every thing back in place.lower vechicle need torque front axle nut to 217 ft lbs.

what about it?

conventional axle or limited slip? Get axle code off door sticker.

No "axle pins". Axles are held in with "c" clips. Remove wheels. Remove drums (or rotors). Remove differential cover. Rotate axles or driveshaft until a small bolt running horizontally can be seen. It has an 8 millimeter head. Remove this bolt. It holds in a shaft that is about 1 inch in diameter an 3 inches long. Remove that shaft. Shove axle towards center of vehicle one at a time. C clip can now be removed from internal end of axle and axle can be slid out of axle housing. When axles are removed DO NOT ROTATE DRIVESHAFT OR CARRIER.

it wont ever work.this is a nortel proprietary telephone and will only work on the nortel products. there is also issues with voltages etc.you are lucky if you have not damaged the ptt end of your home line remove it as quickly as you can...hope this helps
